Hello mate, no sorry, i'm not really in a position to give time to that - really wouldn't be economical for you either. If you wouldn't fancy taking the job on yourself then its probably best to avoid it. However, it does look fairly simple - buy a new sightglass, surround and gauge from Elektra and bolt it all together. Run a load of citric acid solution through it, see what leaks, mend those and you're done.
Stevethecoffee-
Thank you for the advice - I have emailed the guy but he says that he received offers over is £190 listing price, which is weird because you would just hit the BIN button...
Anyway, I told him I would contact him next week to check if he still has it. If he does, I will get it and do a little restauration project

Would you be in a position to fix and service this little Elektra Microcasa if I purchased & picked it up?
Although I don't know anything about it, it looks visually pleasing.
I imagine that the parts will be expensive. And slow-ish to get hold of. #italianproblems
